Crowns

If you have a damaged tooth from trauma, a large filling or root canal. A crown is an effective restorative treatment to strengthen and protect damaged teeth.

Types of crowns

Porcelain to Metal -This a a metal thimble with ceramic baked on top -these crowns have been used for decades, but are not particularly cosmetic in appearance.

Metal -Gold or Stainless steel. Full metal crowns were typically used in the past in high load areas. These crowns are not at all cosmetic but can withstand significant loads. They are rarely used these days due to the arrival of Zirconia crowns as an alternative.

Zirconia – Zirconia is an extremely strong ceramic material that is almost fracture proof. This material is often used in situations of very high load as a cosmetic alternative to metal crowns.

Zirconia crowns are fabricated

Emax -Emax is an extremely cosmetic, yet extremely strong ceramic material. This material has a 10 year success rate of 98% and is the most common material that we use to construct crowns at Whitesmile Dental Care. The material is used in combination with our Cerec machine and a crown is constructed using 3D technology and fired onsite in a special kiln to achieve lifelike cosmetics and strength in one visit.

Enamic – Enamic is a newer material that has the properties of a resin and a ceramic. It is often used in combination with dental implants and is also constructed using our CEREC system.

Teeth whitening, crowns, bridges, veneers and white fillings are just some of the options WhiteSmile Dental Care offers, as part of a personalised treatment plan for a total smile makeover. Whatever your requirements, we can offer a solution that will give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
